Scrooge (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

miser

'scrooge' is the definition.
(Dickens' Ebenezer Scrooge is a miser)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for miser that I've seen before include "Hoarder of money and possessions" , "Curmudgeon" , "One of the people who spend least" , "auger" , "Stingy type" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Sun, the USA Today and The Telegraph.
